Inside Council Pylon, the tallest tower in Dabao City, a battle was taking place inside a room specifically built for training or sparring. Currently, two beings were fighting one another. One was a human, and the other was a large automaton comprised of metal and circuitry.
The human was Zee Min, one of Khode's five high councilors. Her weapon of choice remained the mechanical gauntlets as before, except that they had been upgraded. She had activated her mechanical armor's augmenting function, boosting her power and speed. Even so, she could only fight her opponent to a draw.
"Alright, stop it!" Zee Min exclaimed as she disengaged from the bout.
As she did, her opponent, a battle puppet, stopped moving.
"What do you think? It is impressive, isn't it?" Zhong Yuan, who had been watching the fight from the side, uttered.
"It certainly is. Though I should have been able to defeat it if I had used my arts," Zee Min said.
